The Cole & Mason Precision+ City Concrete & Acrylic Pepper Mill is a stylish and contemporary pepper mill that has been inspired by urban British architecture. Made from crystal clear acrylic and concrete making it a tactile and durable centre piece for any dining setting. The clear acrylic top contrasts well with the geometrically patterned light grey concrete base which is accented by the gun metal feature band around the middle. The concrete has been finished with a layer of clear lacquer to protect its finish and prevent marking from everyday use. The base also features a plastic worktop protector ring to prevent the concrete from coming into contact with work surfaces to avoid scratching or damaging. Featuring the Cole & Mason Precision+ carbon steel mechanism that strips peppercorns instead of crushing them, ensuring maximum flavour release from every turn. The mill comes partially filled with premium whole black peppercorns from Vietnam so is ready to use from the moment you receive it. When you do need to refill it simply turn the mill upside-down an unscrew the acrylic top from the concrete base. Fill up with your favourite whole peppercorns, replace the base and continue to enjoy freshly ground pepper.
Designed and engineered in England, the hardwearing qualities of the mechanism ensure you will always receive a consistently outstanding performance. To adjust the grind from fine to coarse simply tighten or loosen the knob situated at the base of the mill. Use a coarse setting for steaks or tomato salad, a medium setting for pizzas and a fine setting for soups and sauces.
Hints & tips: If your mill becomes difficult to grind, particularly on a fine setting, trying clearing the mechanism. Turn the mill upside down, loosen the knob to the coarsest setting and twist the top. This will free any large peppercorns that may have become lodged. Retighten the knob to the desired setting. Do not put salt in your pepper mill as this will corrode the carbon steel mechanism. Disclaimer: product comes partially filled.
